About me

Johannes obtained his BSc and MSc in Information Systems Engineering, and his PhD in Applied Economics at KU Leuven, Belgium. He then took up a lectureship at the University of Edinburgh Business School where he was the Dixons Carphone Lecturer in Business Analytics. During his time at UEBS he was instrumental in developing and delivering the MicroMasters in Predictive Analytics through edX.

In October 2020 Johannes returned to KU Leuven as Assistant Professor in Business Information Systems from where he maintains a key interest in the future success of the MicroMasters.

His research focuses on the discovery of flexible business process models from data generated by process-aware information systems. He also performs research on the integration of Internet-of-Things data into processes, as well as on many other problems in the decision modelling and mining area, including temporal item-set analysis.
